Note 1:
A total of NT$10,889,775,552 is distributed as dividends, NT$1.8 per share, with NT$3,932,418,952 in cash (a cash dividend of NT$0.65 per share) and the remaining NT$6,957,356,600 in stock (115 shares for each 1,000 shares retained by converting earnings into capital stock).

Resolution:

Matters for Discussions

 
Item 1 (proposed by the Board of Directors)

Proposal:
Please consider a share issue by converting earnings into equity stock.
   
Explanation:
1 To fund a factory expansion project, plans are being made to issue 695,735,660 new shares at a face value of NT$10 each to raise NT$6,957,356,600 with dividends of the same amount to be distributed in 2010.
 
2 Rules governing allotment of new shares: Based on the number of shares recorded in the Company's Register of Shareholders on March 21, 2011, namely 6,049,875,312, each 1,000 shares are eligible for an allotment of 115 shares for earnings converted into capital stock. If the number of shares eligible for dividend distribution changes as a result of conversion of offshore convertible bonds, exercise of stock options by employees, cash capital increases, buyback of company shares, or assignment or cancelation of treasury stock, shareholders are urged to authorize the board of directors to make corresponding adjustments, if any, to per-share dividends. Shareholders allotted fractions of a share will coordinate among themselves to combine and form whole shares within five days after the ex-dividend date. Share fractions failing to combine will be paid fractions of the face value in cash and the president will be authorized by the board to have them purchased by certain persons.
 
3 Rights and obligations of newly issued shares are the same as those of existing shares.
 
4 Ex-dividend date: The board is authorized to set the date after it is passed at the AGM and approved by the regulatory authority.
 
5 The factory expansion plan financed by the capital increase is expected to be completed by December 2014. Implementation of the plan is expected to boost the Company's competitiveness, improve its efficiency, and have a positive impact on shareholders' rights and interests. The board is authorized to make necessary changes if the capital increase must be changed as ordered by the regulatory authority or required by circumstances.
 
Resolution:
 

 
14

 
 
Item 2 (proposed by the Board of Directors)

Proposal:
To finance future capacity expansion, provide for working capital increases, repay bank loans, or cope with other needs for funds in the longer term, the AGM is urged to authorize the board to issue GDRs through cash capital increases, conduct domestic cash capital increases, or issue convertible bonds in Taiwan or overseas according to articles of incorporation, relevant regulations and the following rules.
   
Explanation:
1 The principles to authorize the board of directors to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
 
(1)   Shares issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases shall not exceed 500 million with the board and president authorized to conduct only one issue and decide how many shares to be issued depending on market circumstances.
 
(2)   The price at which shares are issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases shall not fall below 90% of the simple arithmetic mean of the share's closing price on the date the issue price is set and its closing price one, three or five days prior to the price-setting date as per "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by Taiwan Securities Association. If relevant regulations change, the pricing method may be changed accordingly. As share prices often fluctuate substantially in a short time, the president is authorized to set the issue price by following international practices after consulting the underwriter and considering international capital markets' circumstances, domestic market prices, and the book building status. The GDR's issue price is decided based on the fair market price of the company's common stock.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.
Business Report
 
In 2010, the global economy continued the trend of recovery that had begun in 2009 and finally returned to prosperity. The economic growth in 2010 is expected to reach 4.8%. According to the report issued by the IEK ITIS project of Industrial Technology Research Institute, the output of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in 2010 experienced a significant growth of 41.5% compared with 2009, which was higher than the 31.6% growth rate of global semiconductor industry. The output of the assembly industry was NT$297 billion, a growth of 48.8% over 2009, whereas the output of the testing industry amounted to NT$132.7 billion, a growth of 51.5% compared with 2009. Although the economy has returned to the level before the eruption of the financial crisis, advanced nations and emerging economies have been growing at very different pace, the former moderately and the latter much more aggressively. Following the recovery from the crisis, exchange rate fluctuations, surging gold prices and credit crisis of EU member states were still among major concerns. The Company endeavored to achieve growth and performance while adopting prudent response measures to address a variety of challenges and changes in the industry landscape. The following is our report on the company’s operation for the past year:

"2010 Operating Results"

Implementation results for the 2010 business plan
 
The Company’s combined revenues for 2010 were NT$188.7 billion, an increase of NT$103 billion over 2009, equivalent to a 120% growth. For semiconductor assembly and testing services, the Company's revenue in 2010 was NT$123 billion, a growth of 47%. Overall, 2010 was a very successful year for the Company. Apart from higher growth in performance compared to competitors and the industry as a whole, the Company's market share in the global assembly and testing foundry market increased by 2%. The proportion of IDM customers was also rising by the quarter and was now in the range of 38-39%. Meanwhile, a China-based chip maker also become one of our top ten customers. Furthermore, major Japanese IDMs continued to engage the Company in back-end services, and they accounted for 10% of our revenues. The Company's capital expenditures in 2010 was a record high, pushing copper wire bond assembly revenue as high as 18% of total revenues. In addition, the Company also achieved substantial gains in the expansion of production sites: During the second half of 2010, the Company acquired the Singapore plant of EEMS to enhance our market share in Southeast Asia and strengthen our competitiveness in the region; The Kaohsiung operations also expanded production capacity by acquisitions and by constructing new plants; Our plans for the second half of the year include capital increase for the subsidiary ASE Weihai in China, significantly expanding the assembly and testing capacity of discrete devices. We look forward to a substantial growth next year. Finally, the inauguration of the ASE Kunshan plant is also expected to contribute considerably to the Company's future profitability.

The popularity of consumer electronics products such as smart phones, tablet PCs, smart TVs and game consoles in recent years is expected to drive the continuing growth of the semiconductor industry. These products represent the impetus for the future growth of the Company's revenues. Tablet computers are especially significant since most of our customers are suppliers of tablet PC-related devices and components. Meanwhile, the Company will also focus on the conversion of copper processes to improve cooperation in the semiconductor industry supply chain and to reduce costs in keeping pace with the enormous demand for communications products in emerging markets as well as the trend toward lower costs in the production of smart phones. We continue to develop packaging and testing services with high added-value and high unit prices as well as sophisticated and innovative high-end integrated circuits, while delegating packaging and testing services for discrete components, which are of lower unit prices, less sophisticated and technologically less advanced, to our mainland operations. The purpose is to increase the Company's competitiveness and achieve a balance of development between corss strait.

"Development Strategy"

According to estimates provided by the IEK ITIS project of Industrial Technology Research Institute, in 2011 the semiconductor industry will continue to grow but at a slower rate, which is projected to be 8.7%. The assembly and testing sectors are estimated to grow at about 10.3% and 11.1%, respectively. With the price of gold rising substantially, our competitors' copper wire bonding process capability is also catching up, and with local IC manufacturers and major overseas component integration vendors becoming more willing to adopt copper processing, the Company will be investing a significant amount of capital expenditure to expand our copper wire bonding machines in order to achieve a 35% proportion of wire bonding for the entire year. The continuing expansion of operations outsourced by integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) in 2011 is the main driving force behind the high growth of Taiwan's IC packaging and testing industry. The Company is committed to raising the proportion of revenues from IDM customers. In addition, China's economic growth in 2010 ranked highest among East Asian emerging markets, and aggressive pursuit of the expansion of our China operations is also the niche of the Company's continued growth.
 
"Impacts of Competition, Legislation and Operating Environment"

The improving global economy has helped to materialize the benefits from the programs introduced by the Company during the financial crisis of the past two years on human resources, production lines, cost planning and integrated solutions; we have since achieved unprecedented revenues and profits. With the government's liberalization and encouragement of establishing presence in China by Taiwanese enterprises and with the signing of ECFA, the Company has invested in and set up production plants in China, utilizing the vast amount of human resources available locally to improve our product lines and increase our competitiveness. Our improved market share has further accelerated the Company's growth. Faced with the fluctuations in the New Taiwan dollar exchange rate and the rise of the IC packaging and testing industry in China, the Company is committed to improving our position constantly and the adoption of adequate risk management and control measures. The Company and the management team are not complacent with past achievements. In stead we strive to further improve our competitiveness and set the goal of creating higher profits for our shareholders in appreciation of their support.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”) and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the tender offerings for the common shares of Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. (“USI”) in February and August 2010, respectively.  Thereafter, the USI shareholdings held by the Company were increased to 98.9%.  As a result, the consolidated results of operations of USI and its subsidiaries from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2010 have been included in the consolidated financial statements referred to above.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, starting from January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly revised ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.10, “Accounting for Inventories”.  Besides, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company changed its method of accounting for bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors upon adoption of Interpretation 96-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors” issued by the ROC Accounting Research and Development Foundation (“ARDF”) in March 2007.
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 28, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Unless by the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, the chairperson may not declare the meeting ended until all items on the agenda (including extemporaneous motions) arranged in the preceding two paragraphs have been completed.
After the meeting is declared ended, shareholders may not elect a chairperson to resume the meeting at the original location or other premises, unless such declaration by the chairperson has violated the rules of procedure, whereas one person may be elected the chairperson with the consent of one half of the votes represented by shareholders present to resume the Meeting.
10.
When the shareholders’ meeting is in session, the chairperson may in his/her discretion allocate and announce time for breaks.

11.
Before a shareholder present at the meeting speaks, he/she shall first fill out a statement slip stating therein the main points of the statement, the shareholder's account number (or the attendance identification number) and account name, so that the chairperson may determine the order of speaking. The shareholder present at the meeting that merely submits a statement slip without speaking is considered not having spoken. If the contents of the statement do not conform to the contents of the statement slip, the contents of the statement shall govern. Unless given consent by the chairperson and the speaking shareholder, the other shareholders may not speak to interrupt when a shareholder is speaking; otherwise the chairperson shall stop the interruption.
12.
Unless permitted by the chairperson, no shareholder may speak for more than twice regarding the same proposal, and shall not last for more than five minutes each time.
If a shareholder violates rules under the preceding paragraph or goes beyond the scope of topics for discussion in speaking, the chairperson may stop him/her from speaking.
13.
When an institutional person attends the shareholders’ meeting as a proxy, the institutional person may assign only one representative to attend the meeting. When an institutional shareholder assigns two or more representatives to attend the shareholders’ meeting, only one of them may speak for any single proposal.
14.
After a shareholder present at the meeting speaks, the chairperson may reply in person or assign concerned personnel to reply.
15.
With respect to discussions of a proposal, if the chairperson feels that a consensus has been reached where a vote can be taken on the proposal, he/she may announce that the discussions shall cease and the proposal be submitted for a vote.
16.
The chairperson shall appoint monitors and ballot counters for voting on proposals. For qualifications, monitors must be shareholders. The results of each vote shall be announced on the spot and made into the minutes.
17.
Unless otherwise provided by The Company Act or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, a proposal shall be approved by the consent of more than half of the votes of shares represented by shareholders present. In voting, a proposal is considered approved if the chairperson receives no dissenting opinions after requesting, which has the same effect as does voting by ballot.
 
 
47

 
 
18.
Where there is an amendment or an alternative for a proposal, the chairperson shall determine the order in which they are to be voted on with the original proposal. If any of the proposals has been approved, the other shall be treated as rejected and not be voted on separately.
19.
The chairperson may instruct the inspectors (or security personnel) to assist in maintaining order in the meeting venue. While assisting in maintaining order at the venue, the inspectors (or security personnel) shall wear arm-bands reading “Inspector.”
20.
All matters not provided by these Rules herein shall be handled in accordance with The Company Act, relevant laws and regulations, as well as the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
21.
These Rules shall come into force given the approval of the shareholders’ meeting, and so shall be the amendment.

Note 2:
A total of NT$10,889,775,552 is distributed as dividends, NT$1.8 per share, with NT$3,932,418,952 in cash (a cash dividend of NT$0.65 per share) and the remaining NT$6,957,356,600 in stock (115 shares for each 1,000 shares retained by converting earnings into capital stock). The above distribution of dividends to shareholders and the cash and stock dividend distribution rates are calculated based on the number (6,049,875,312) of shares recorded in the Register of Shareholders as of March 21, 2011. Later, if the Company’s ECB holders exercise the right of conversion, or new shares issued to employees against Employee Stock Option warrant, or new shares issued by the Company for a cash capital increase, or buyback of the Company’s stocks, or transfer or cancellation of the Company’s treasury stocks, which affect the cash distribution rate of the shareholders’ bonus, requiring adjustment, the management will request the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the board of directors to handle the situation plenipotentiarily and make the adjustment accordingly.

Item 16G.  Corporate Governance
 
As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, we are subject to certain corporate governance rules of the NYSE.  The application of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules is limited for foreign private issuers, recognizing that they have to comply with domestic requirements.  As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with the following NYSE corporate governance rules: 1) satisfy the audit committee requirements of the SEC; 2) chief executive officer must promptly notify the NYSE in writing upon becoming aware of any material non-compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance rules; 3) submit annual and interim affirmations to the NYSE regarding compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance requirements; and 4) provide a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.  The table below sets forth the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.
 
New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
Description of Significant Differences between Our Governance Practices and the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
Director independence
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards.
Two members of our board of directors are independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
 
Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the Republic of China (the “ROC”), we have two independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general shareholders meeting on June 25, 2009.
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors.  Our non-management directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.  The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have their non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
Nominating/Corporate governance committee
 
 
60

 
 
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee.  The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have a nominating/corporate governance committee.
 
Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices.
 
The ROC Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders.  Under ROC law and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors.  Our two independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our articles of incorporation.  All of our non-independent directors were elected directly by our shareholders at our shareholders meetings without a nomination process.
Compensation committee
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
We do not have a compensation committee.  However, a new law in Taiwan law requires a public company with the size like us to establish compensation committee by September 30, 2011. [We will establish our compensation committee by September 30, 2011 which charter will contain similer responsibilities as those provided under NYSE listing standards]
Audit committee
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
We have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
 
Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, beginning January 1, 2007, public companies shall either establish an audit committee satisfying specified requirements or install supervisors.  Under certain circumstances, public companies may be required by the Financial Supervisory Commission (the "FSC") to establish an audit committee.  In addition to our Rule 10A-3 audit committee, we currently have supervisors pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law.
 
 
61

 
 
The audit committee must have a minimum of three members.
We currently have two members on our audit committee.  Our audit committee members satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.  We do not assess the independence of our audit committee member under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards.
The audit committee must have a written charter that provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3 and addresses certain other matters required by the NYSE listing standards.
Our audit committee charter provides for the audit committee to assist our board of directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3.  Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3.
 
Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under ROC law and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters.
Each listed company must have an internal audit function.
We have an internal audit function.  Under the ROC Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors.
 
Our entire board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor.
 
 
62

 
 
Equity compensation plans
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans.
We comply with the corresponding requirements of the ROC Company Law, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, and the ROC Criteria Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, which require shareholders’ approval for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has authority to approve employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC, and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present.
Corporate governance guidelines
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.
We currently comply with the domestic non-binding Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for Taiwan Stock Exchange and GreTai Stock Market Listed Companies promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Stock Market, and we provide an explanation of differences between our practice and the principles, if any, in our ROC annual report.
Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
We have adopted a code of ethics that satisfies the requirements of Item 16B of Form 20-F and applies to all employees, officers, supervisors and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and will disclose any waivers of the code as required by Item 16B of Form 20-F.  We have posted our code of ethics on our website.
Description of significant differences
Listed foreign private issuers must disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies under NYSE listing standards.
This table contains the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.

Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, qualifying the certification to the extent necessary.
As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with this rule; however, our Chief Executive Officer provides certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
We intend to comply with this requirement.
Each listed company must submit an executed Written Affirmation annually to the NYSE.  In addition, each listed company must submit an interim Written Affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or any of the committees subject to Section 303A.  The annual and interim Written Affirmations must be in the form specified by the NYSE.
We have complied with this requirement to date and intend to continue to comply going forward.
Website
